Things are not looking good as far as war goes. Germany has made a treaty with Belgium, and has broken it. This as angered our country greatly, because we had guaranteed them neutrality. The germans will pay for this! A couple days ago the Archduke Franz Ferndinand Was shot at while driving with his wife. He turned the corner of a street and a man Murdered the archduke. The man was caught but didnt seem to show any remorse for what he had done. After the man was brough to jail, he sat and confessed to the crime in detail. the man was charged and executed. The Thing i dont understand is that the archduke was warned about coming to sarajevo in the first place but he ignored the warnings, and now he is dead. This is awful. The Archduke was Francis Josephs nephew, so now he is ready for war, though his government that was in vienna saw this as an excuse to crush the serbians for good.
My first month at war,
The war is now arising, France has claimed neutrality, and we are not sure to trust anyone at the moment. German swept through belgium without warning, nobody likes a german they are scum. This war is going to be a scary one for sure. New weapons that are much more dangerous are being used now. Trench warfare is leaving many casualities. Many of my close friends have been killed in battle in front of my own eyes. This war has changed everyone of the men on my squad. Ive been unable to sleep at night, because of nightmares. I wonder if i will live long enough to come back home at times. Writing these entries really helps me at times i need it most. I am hoping this war takes a turn for the better.
The Third month at war,
Being at war in my opinion has never been good, all it is about is killing and taking. But it seems to be getting better in ways. America is thinking about backing out, Russia has already withdrew due to their own personal problems. This means i have a great chance of making it out of here alive. I believe as long as we can keep our allies then we should all make it out of here just fine and with no problems at all. I can only hope that this war will be over before Christmas.
My fourth month in the trench,
Back at home i would dig holes for my mother so she could plant more in her garden. As a young boy i thought it was hard enough work. But now the sergeant has me digging deeper in the trenches due to more men joining us. Boy is it hard work. the war is actually looking up for me, i am starting to stay positive at all times and not worrying as much about anything. A few months ago a few walks down the road almost had me in tears i was so afraid. Ive come to realize that war isnt just about killing, there is a reason for all war. i have yet to kill a man thankfully, i dont think i could handle it.
Month Five,
Christmas has passed and i have received letters from home, My mother and father have been doing great. My brother has gotten a job as a mechanic and is trying to find his own home that me and him can share when i come home. Christmas was really nice to be honest, i felt at home with my new friends, and we all had a few drinks and told some war stories. one man got so drunk he shot himself in the foot with his own rifle. It lightened up my day to be honest. War is actually looking great at the moment i am positive i will be returning home soon now. Especially since me and my squad have been hanging around all day all week. War as i know it, is over for now.
Month six, the day has come.
I am getting out of here! An armistice was signed and has ended this war once and for all. I have never been more excited in my life than i am right now. I have just finished packing my things, and will be leaving in one hour. I wanted to pass the time by writing this journal, im so excited i can hardly write because of my hands shaking so bad. I cannot wait to get home and see my family, the first thing i am going to do is go to my uncles restaurant and have the biggest meal ive had in months. I cannot wait to leave.
The treaty,
A new treaty was brought between us and all the other countries involved in the war, Germany was of course to blame. In my opinion they deserve it entirely. we were Granted some colonies in our favor and i am very satisfied with the outcome of this war. Our nation is now stronger than ever, and i am now stronger myself. But after seeing how horrible parts of the war were, i know one thing is for sure. There will never be another war.
